Another suicide bomb attack at University of Maiduguri

Image
Barely 48 hours after three suicide bombers attacked the University of Maiduguri, another bomber on Saturday detonated his explosive outside the perimeter fencing of the school. The Borno State police commissioner, Damian Chukwu, said the incident happened at about 10 a.m. He said the bomber hid near the the university’s Children Secondary School, and detonated the bomb, killing himself, when he sighted a security man coming in his direction. There was no other casualty in the incident, he said. The incident, the third in less than two weeks, has however heightened tension in the campus, as students and staffers alike expressed worries over the frequent attacks there.

Dear undergraduate :follow these simple tests and you I'll enjoy school

Image
A very common general mistake is not recognizing that their participation in college is the beginning of their professional life. Many students do not treat their interactions, especially with their professors, as professional contacts. Here are some tips to improve your learning experience: Attend Class : This is an obvious point but one that a surprising number of students seem to ignore. You’ve paid for the course you are taking; or at least someone has paid for it on your behalf. Not attending class is like paying for a product in the store and not taking delivery. You may think that the course you are taking is a waste of time and so showing up is also a waste. But, the potential harm you do yourself by not showing up is not going to be offset by the college credit you may (assuming you pass the course) receive. Be Punctual:  Mark Twain once said that 80% of life is showing up. Another important percentage is showing up on time. Being punctual shows you take the clas...

The Founder of Microsoft and richest man in the world, Bill Gates, shared a message to all graduates and we think it's not only brilliant, it's important. "Dear Class of 2017." That's how the message began. "Congratulations! You’ve just accomplished something I never managed to do — earn a college degree. Between your commencement speaker and every aunt and uncle at your graduation party, I am sure you are getting a lot of advice. At the risk of piling on, I thought I would share a few thoughts. New college graduates often ask me for career advice. I was lucky to be in my early 20s when the digital revolution was just getting underway, and Paul Allen and I had the chance to help shape it. (Which explains my lack of a college degree: I left school because we were afraid the revolution would happen without us.)  If I were starting out today and looking for the same kind of opportunity to make a big impact in the world, I would consider three fields. ...
